Jobs, Coordinate Systems, Working Styles, RTK Profiles and other objects Version compatibility between CS Field Controllers, TS Total Stations and GS Sensors All SmartWorx Viva objects (such as Jobs, Coordinate Systems, Working Styles, RTK profiles etc) created or used within previous SmartWorx Viva firmware versions can be used without problems in SmartWorx Viva v5.05 The new v5.05 software packages must be loaded to all CS Field Controllers, TS Total Stations and GS10/15, GS14, GS25 Sensors. It is not possible to use a CS Field Controller running earlier SmartWorx Viva software versions with a TS Total Station or GS10/15, GS14, GS25 Sensor running v5.05 software. Similarly it is not possible to use a CS Field Controller running SmartWorx Viva v5.05 software with a TS Total Station or GS10/15, GS14, GS25 Sensor running earlier software. Ensure the v5.05 software packages are loaded to all your CS Field Controllers, TS Total Stations and GS10/15, GS14, GS25 Sensors. SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 2/10
SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS APP SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS Create Control Data new Create Offset Line & Points app It is now possible to create offset lines and points based on an existing line or area within the Create Control Data app Within the new Create Offset Line & Points panel a line or area can be selected and the offset at which the new line and/or are points should be created. It is possible to define whether a Line & points or only a Line or only Points should be created. The Line ID and Starting point ID which are suggested are based on the current ID templates, but can be changed The Map page tab gives a graphical overview of where the newly created points and/or lines will be created SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 3/10
Note that the F3(Revrs) button allows the direction of the line or area to be reversed The height of the newly created points is taken from the original point from which the new point was offset. This new functionality can save time when both surveying parallel objects (such as a kerb line) or when staking out points Transfer job between TS and CS In previous SmartWorx Viva versions, when transferring a job between a CS Field Controller and a TS Total Station, only data such as points, lines and areas were included in the transfer. With SmartWorx Viva v5.05, all data attached to the job, such as images, scans, surfaces, HeXML and CAD files will be included in the job transfer. SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 4/10
SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS TS SPECIFIC Sets of Angles app Measurement method In SmartWorx Viva v5.00 a bug was found that when measuring sets of angles with a mixture of numerical and alphanumerical point numbers, the defined order of point measurement would change. For example, if measuring points T1, T2, 10 with the method ABBA, the second set would be measured as 10, T1, T2 instead of 10, T2, T1. The results were still correct but user had to edit the data to import it into the office software. This behaviour is corrected in v5.05 Prism selection In SmartWorx Viva v5.00 when a user measured points for with a user defined prism and then started the measurement of the sets, the prism would switch to the Leica Round Prism. It would need to be reconfigured to the user defined prism. With SmartWorx Viva v5.05, the user defined prism is taken over into the Sets of Angles configuration and automatically used when starting the measurement of sets. Tunnel app A new tool to export to DXF the scanned tunnel profiles is now available in the Tunnel app. This tool can be invoked by pressing the Export Dxf Profiles option within the Scan Profile Toolbox once the scan has been performed. The Scan Profile Toolbox can be accessed by pressing Fn+F5 (Tools) from the Scan Profile panel within Tunnel Check. This option exports the scan results to a DXF file according to a pre-defined template, which includes the measured points and the resulting profile overlapping the design profile, plus some basic analytical figures, at every selected SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 5/10
chainage. By pressing F2(Config) it is possible to access the DXF Export Configuration panel: Here it is possible to configure the final layout of the DXF file - by setting the number of columns the rows are realised from the total amount of profiles to draw. - by adding the over and under excavation areas or a comparison plane to the graphic or by using a filter to exclude points out of the set tolerance. Freeze in Sets of Angles app when using the Italian language When using the Sets of Angles app with the Italian language then the app would freeze. This has been fixed in v5.05.

Instability when using the Scanning app from a CS field controller In SmartWorx Viva v5.00 when performing more than one scan and with some scan definitions the user would see instabilities in the connection between the CS field controller and the MS50 MultiStation. This instability is resolved in v5.05 Unexpected error when using the Scanning app on the MS50 After creating a scan definition and selecting to start the scan on the MS50 MultiStation, on certain occasions an error would be shown that the scan was not successful and needed to be repeated. This issue has been resolved in SmartWorx Viva v5.05. Instability when using a CS field controller with a Nova imaging total station and the telescope camera When using a CS field controller with a Nova imaging total station via long range Bluetooth the user might have experienced slow performance on the field controller when using tap and turn or zoom to maximum. This is resolved within SmartWorx v5.05. Distance measurement missing when pressing the trigger key on the MS50 MultiStation more than once There was an issue when using the trigger key on the MS50 MultiStation to trigger a measurement. Pressing the key more than once would cause a point to be stored without a distance measurement. This has been corrected to allow working under difficult conditions (e.g. wearing gloves). Loading license keys generated in Onyx or MyWorld to Nova There was an issue that license keys generated in Onyx or MyWorld could not be loaded to Nova instruments. This issue is now resolved.

instruments. SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS GS SPECIFIC Increased flexibility in using the internal modem of the CS field controller With SmartWorx Viva v5.05 the CS 3.5G modem can now be copied, reconfigured and selected to be used on the internal port. This allows using the CS internal modem with different configurations, e.g. storing instances of the device with different AT commands. Device independent settings are now stored in the working style In SmartWorx Viva version previous to v5.05 the following settings were stored as a property of the device. - APN - PIN code - Use as a dial up or GPRS device - Use of UMTS This could cause problems for instance when switching between RTK profiles using the same device once as dial up and once in GPRS mode. The RTK profile switch would not change that device setting and therefore the setup would not work. In v5.05 these settings are now stored as part of the working style/rtk profile. This allows using the same device in different RTK profiles with reliable working style changes. SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 8/10
TrimTalk(T) GMSK mode available for Satel radios An additional radio modulation type, TrimTalk(T) GMSK mode, can now be used with the Satel radios available on the GS sensors. The Satel radios support Trimble/Pacific Crest modulation types in order to receive RTK data from Trimble base stations: Pac Crest 4FSK Pac Crest GMSK Pac Crest FST TrimTalk(P) GMSK TrimTalk(T) GMSK This new modulation type can be configured in the Radio Configuration panel. The former TrimTalk GMSK mode is still available as a renamed TrimTalk(P) GMSK mode. The Trimtalk(T) GMSK mode is supported in the recent Satel radio firmware which can be found on myworld. Configure dial-up in UMTS mode via OWI Configuring a UMTS dial-up connection on the GS14 via OWI was not working correctly. This issue has been solved in SmartWorx Viva v5.05. RINEX file logging When activating RINEX raw data logging via the GS web server, a new RINEX file would be created every 12 hours. This behaviour has been corrected to start a new RINEX file every 24 hours to make it consistent with the configuration via the CS15 or CS10 Field Controller. SmartWorx Viva Release Notes v5.05 9/10
